Re: Chapter 4: Points North
In reply to Major Gray (msg #959):
As they continue to walk, Cole turns slightly towards the Major...
As I understand it, the goal for me and the boys, is to find a safe, and quick, trail north, for the herd.
So, two possible solutions to this problem seem clear: 1) Find a way to avoid anyone who might have a problem with us passing a herd through this territory 2) Find a way to convince anyone who might want to interfere with us and the herd, not to.
If'n I'm not mistaken, seems to me you were willing to give up a couple of head to smooth our way, a little while ago. I'm just wondering if you would be still open to that, should the opportunity come up? Also, what about cash? Some fellers might react a might better, if some form of payment were provided, to keep the peace.
I'm just thinkin' to do what's best for NBO, and the job, in terms of reputation. So, I want to make sure I know my options.
